Typically, its difficult to visualize the gap between sensor sizes only by going over a spec sheet. The pic underneath might offer you a greater sense of the sensor sizing in the SX150 IS and TG-4.
As you can see, both cameras posses the exact same sensor measurements but different megapixels. You can expect to see the Olympus TG-4 to deliver extra detail having an extra 2 Megapixels. Greater resolution will help you crop photos somewhat more aggressively. The more aged SX150 IS is going to be behind when it comes to sensor innovation.
